Method and Device for Collecting Images of a Scene for Generating Virtual Reality Data

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the third reference point, the second reference point, and the corresponding first reference point are collinear, when the third reference point, the second reference point, and the corresponding first reference point are overlapping on a display screen of the imaging device.

10. The method according to claim 9, wherein the number of the first reference points in the first plane is the same as the number of the first reference points in the second plane.

11. The method according to claim 9, wherein the number of the first reference points in the first plane is different from the number of the first reference points in the second plane.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the first image and the second image include at least one object in common.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the plurality of the first reference points are on a spherical surface defined with respect to the optical center of the imaging device.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the first plane and the second plane are parallel with each other.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein images of the first set of images captured corresponding to two consecutive ones of the first set of positions include at least one common object.

24. The method of claim 23, further comprising generating 3D data of the 3D space based on the first set of images and the second set of images.
